My husband and I eloped about a year ago. I bought him a cheap ring and we discussed originally that when we had an actual ceremony we would buy each other nice rings. We decided recently to forgo the idea of a grand wedding. But for my birthday he bought be a beautiful eternity band. I told him I wanted to buy him a nice ring and he refused. He absolutely loves the one he had because it "means something" and I gave it to him. Well that is nice and all but truthfully his ring looks terrible now. Which is expected since I payed less than 50 for it. So long story short I want to buy him a nice ring for our one year anniversary but I want him to actually wear it. Any suggestions on how to do this tactfully?

give him little subtle hints. walk by a jewelery store occasionally. say something about his ring like how its getting worn away. and after a week of this maybe, u can tell him. say something like… i don’t want that ring to be worn down. maybe make a small joke like saying: i want that ring to be in one piece when we’re older so we can remember it.
it sounds like u guys have a great relationship so remember to talk it out
